Idea for a two night overnighter in early December

Post by Miami32 »

Hi there,

My brother and I️, both in great shape, are going to be in Phoenix in early December. We would like to do a two night overnight backpack trip within 2-3 hours of Phoenix.

Are there any great trip suggestions for this time only year? We are well-equipped for cold nights and can hike good distances and elevation, but aren’t looking for anything too strenuous.

Many thanks!

Welcome!

Default recommendation is probably this: https://hikearizona.com/decoder.php?ZTN=1441, especially if you're looking to experience some sweet, sweet prickly desert. If you're looking for something a bit tougher and higher elevation (thus lower temps) there is also this https://hikearizona.com/x.php?x=50865 that is fairly easy to reach and well-defined. Either way, can't go wrong with the Supes.
